| 0:21.0 | So this week at Awesome Marriage, we're doing a mini series on ways to practice true monogamy. |
| 0:26.0 | So in continuation, we're going to be talking about the way number two today, which is take |
| 0:30.8 | your thoughts captive for Christ. |

| 0:39.9 | For me, I think just on a personal level, when something comes into my mind or my thoughts that really aren't for him, |
